Four derelict Bristol properties up for auction in need of some TLC

An abandoned farm and an empty cabin are among the derelict properties that could be yours when they go under the hammer. With homes on the housing market getting more and more expensive, people are starting to turn to auctions to find their next home.

Properties can be put up for auction for a number of reasons and can often be found in different states. The more attractive properties are not necessarily the five-bedroom houses with modern features, but those that are in a state of disrepair and are just looking for a new owner keen to revive the house.

Maggs & Allen has listed a number of properties up for auction. Interested buyers can make an offer before the auction or register to bid during the live auction. These properties are due to appear in their online auction on June 27 at 6:00 p.m., where bidders can submit bids online, by phone or by proxy.
